The bowling ally is cheap, but you have to keep track of your score by hand. The gym is usually very crowded, but it is less crowded than Noyes, and does not have Olympic lift platforms or exercise balls like Noyes or Teagle. It also lacks adequate public transportation to the location on weekend and late night hours.

This wonderful wooded park space is large and gorgeous much like my girlfriend. There are two sections, Upper and Lower, and both are lovely. Definitely the most relaxing place to hang out and people watch during the summer in the inner city area, and bettered only by Onondaga Lake Park (totally different) in the wider region.

We made a HUGE mistake by going with Kennedy's for our new pool filter. First of all, when they…read morefirst came out, we wanted them to help assemble and start it up for us. They could only assemble it but couldn't do anything else because of the way the old filter basket fit through the deck--we had to remove some boards on our own to get everything to fit just right. Fine, we did as they asked us. We asked them to please come back and see that we had everything cut right, fit, etc and please make sure everything is in proper working order before we do anything else. They never came back. We called a few times and patiently waited over 2 months---keep in mind we paid for the whole startup in May which included the new filter plus installation. Had we known we had to do everything on our own to begin with, we would have just gone and picked it up ourselves. Fast forward 2 months---we now have a leak in the pump seal between the motor and the filter! The whole reason we wanted someone out here to help us in the first place was so this didn't happen. So we cleaned out the cartridge, rinsed everything out---they finally come out to fix the pump seal and they wind up jamming the cartridge back into the filter so that it now won't come out, and was all all bent. We wound up having to the whole center piece out with the cartridge and return to Kennedy's at 7am before anyone went out on call because nobody would come to our home to fix this--they denied ever doing this and said they never touched our filter. WE HAD THE CARTRIDGE CLEANED OUT AND ON THE LAWN WHEN THEY ARRIVED---THEY JAMMED IT BACK IN AND DAMAGED IT. We spoke to both receptionists about this and were met with denial and them placing the blame on us, as if we made all this up! They were less than friendly or understanding. Kennedy's did replace the cartridge they damaged at no cost--and that is why they are even getting 1 star on here. 2 weeks later, the pump seal has blown again--we called back and they refused to even offer to come out to check it for us, saying we needed to unhook everything from the filter and bring it in ourselves. Again, they were confrontational on the phone, and not willing to accept responsibility for their lack of quality control. A brand new filter should work for more than a few weeks at a time! Each time they have been out, something else has subsequently happened. (Incidentally, we called another company about this and they said no problem--we'll get someone out to look at it). Furthermore, they charged us $171 for less than 30 minutes on a $19 part--and the job not done correctly. When I spoke to the receptionist on the phone the last time--I asked her how they could not stand by their name--she assured me they did--and I said if you cared enough about your customers you'd send someone out to help us fix what should not have needed to be fixed in the first place---we will NEVER recommend Kennedy's to anyone nor will we ever go back there. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!

($350) Being leary I specifically asked if I could return it if it wasn't the right one. They told me I could. I returned to the store the following week ( I live 25 minutes away ) because it had to be delivered to the store. It looked right so I took it home again asking if it was returnable and they said it most definitely was. My husband put it on the tub but it stuck out so far that we could not put the walls back on the tub. I returned it the next day prepared to just buy a new tub and not fight with the old one anymore but when I got to the store they told me I in fact could not return the motor (are you kidding me?!!! and yes it was the same lady) I then told them that I was going to buy a new tub from them but not if this was how you treat your customers. They still refused to give me back my money for the motor that I asked twice if it was returnable. I asked the lady. Are you seriously going to let me walk away and take a huge loss on a new hot tub over a $350 motor that I was told I could return not once but twice so I left swearing to never return? Her answer was "yes I am". I am now stuck with a motor I can not use but I have an a brand new beautiful $11,000 tub that I bought elsewhere.I will never understand how a business owner can treat their customers with such little respect.
